The Spirit of Tibet

The vast Tibetan Plateau, often called the ‘Roof of the World’, sits several miles above sea level, and its remote location has made it one of the most spiritual and untouched places on earth. This comprehensive tour of Tibet travels at a relaxed pace, covering the most significant monasteries around Lhasa and the provincial towns of Gyantse & Shigatse, and also ventures to wilderness areas to explore Lake Namtso, the hot springs of Tidrum, hermit caves & remote nunneries. Continue slowly west to the high Himalayas, with an overnight stay at Everest Base Camp for unforgettable views of the world’s highest peak. The trip finishes with the dramatic descent from the Tibetan Plateau to the lush tropical Kathmandu Valley in Nepal.
